You may know Materia as the vgm label releasing a ton of soundtracks, but our start was as a community, collaborating on these massive nostalgia projects. Materia Collective's first release of 2019 is a tribute to our favorite menu/start/select themes.

Please enjoy MENU: An Homage to Game Title Themes, a community project. The album is ... massive, and I'm sure there's something for you.

“Menu and start music themes set the tone for the beginnings of most games. They are not unlike appetizers or amuse bouches: a taste for what’s to come. For many people, these opening themes, along with their respective title cards, trigger a greater sense of nostalgia, in much the same way that smells activate older memories. All of these themes are composed and designed with a sense of beginning, acting as gateways towards something bigger. This album would be a celebration of, not only the memories these games hold, but also their function from a design perspective.

Specifically, we want to encapsulate the feeling when you first played a game, be it playing a video game for the very first time or picking up any game for the first time ever, and falling in love with it. Every video game fan had to start their appreciation somewhere, and that feeling is what binds our community together. By drawing from Materia Collective’s community of musical members during this album’s production, we hope to show not only how video games connect and inspire us all, but also pay homage to video games as a medium. We’re proud to present this album as a compilation of a remarkable set of remixes and unique covers of opening theme music from video games.
”

I'd love for you to have a listen to the album, and there are a few complimentary codes for you below. Of course, if you enjoy our music and community, please consider supporting our artists and their works.

Oh! If you liked it, please consider sharing the soundtrack on Twitter and elsewhere, and leaving a note of thanks in your bandcamp collection.

Thanks and enjoy! ♥

Mon, 21 Jan 2019 07:28:56 GMTHi ffshrine, happy new year! We've fallen a bit behind with our sharing of Materia releases. Catching up now, so expect more posts in the next day!

Materia teamed up with composer Chris Logsdon to release the soundtrack to Night of the Blood Moon, a kickstarter indie-favorite with an excellent soundtrack.

Quote:

“This was a super fun soundtrack to work on! At first I actually thought it would be easy - just a bunch of beats to keep the action going. There was a lot more to it though, and it really pushed me to grow in ways I wasn’t expecting. We put a ton of thought into the instrument choices, melodies, pacing... everything. There was a lot of back-and-forth iteration that regularly devolved into us just sharing music we love with each other!

It’s been a wild ride, and I’m very thankful that Tyler wanted to work with me. I have a lot of respect for developers like him who work solo to make their passion projects come to life.

I hope you enjoy the unique charm of this game, and that you feel the passion put into every line of code and every note played!”

And probably my favorite part of the album, it features remixes/arrangements of Guilty Gear XX songs that sound more aggressive and beefy than their original counterparts in my opinion
